Kia ora,So far we’ve run the equivalent of Slope Point to Balcultha! Maybe we’ll reach Dunedin next week. All the training is really paying off as our runs around the Wither Hills get faster each week. Well done everyone.We’ve also explored how light travels through materials and how the sun makes light and looked back at our topic to see all the new knowledge we have gained.

​Kia ora,What a lot of creativity we’ve had this week. Our writing about the treasures we found on the beach has been inspired!Cross country training has been a bit sporadic as due to the weather but there was a definite energy and improvement in our long run onto the Wither Hills today. Well done everyone! Hopefully next week we’ll get to run a little more often.

​Kia ora,We had a fantastic trip to Rarangi on Tuesday. The weather was perfect and Mrs Muir, Mrs Anderson and I would like to thank all the parents who came and supported us. We hope you enjoyed it too. We’ve used our treasures to inspire us to create beautiful poetry and help us to expand our descriptive vocabulary. Our next trip out will be to Stadium 2000 for Fundamental Skills. There is a a permission slip in your child’s bag which needs to be returned and please organise payment at the office.We are also beginning training for Cross Country so please ensure your child is wearing or has suitable shoes for running at school each day.Thanks.
